Newsgroups, do you feel your coverage to be hardly impressive? Seminarians, are you frustrated with disturbances during your deliveries? Well then, I would suggest you have your mike set tested, or still better, go for the Rode VideoMic right away! Want to know why? Well, there are a host of reasons. So, do take a peek into what follows to see how I mean … Ready?

I find the Rode VideoMic to be a cost effective, camera mounting shotgun microphone that comes with a built-in shock mount, and it offers close signal reproduction. The Rode VideoMic Shotgun Microphone allows for small and light-weight mounting on DV and HDV cameras without interfering with what I am shooting. The side axis audio is attenuated by the super-cardioid polar pattern and barrel-canceling design, thereby, giving me maximum response at the front of the capsule. I can hear you asking “So, what?” Well, this could only mean that noisy conditions or moderate distances are no obstacles to my getting clear, noise-free signals. I feel that the Rode VideoMic Camcorder Microphone is a “must-have” for reporters who desire more audio control and power over their existing on-camera mikes. The Rode VideoMic Shotgun Microphone comes fitted with replaceable O-rings which suspend the microphone on the shock-mount and protect it against noise during abrupt movement or rough handling. I can now willingly lend my microphone to all those who need it and not complain one bit about anybody’s inept handling!

The Rode VideoMic Directional Microphone comes built in with the advanced ‘Film Industry’ technology so that I can use it with high-quality digital video cameras. Small as it might be, you MUST believe me when I talk about the low volume the microphone exhibits, the wide bandwidth it supports, and its tough construction. A standard 9-Volt battery would suffice to power the Rode VideoMic Directional Microphone. Talking of power, the Rode VideoMic Shotgun Microphone will run for around 100 hours on a single battery; so, it is economical as well. I think you are satisfied already!
